As part of their debut Irish tour, acoustic electronica trio GoGo Penguin perform at Regional Cultural Centre, Letterkenny, on Wednesday October 28th.

An exhilarating jazz-infused salvo of spacey chords, stuttering break-beats and killer riffs, the group creates a brave new sound that is wholly its own.

Packing the dance floors with an infectious combination of frenetic break-beats, irresistible piano melodies and subtle electronica, GoGo Penguin first came to prominence in 2014 after their album, v2.0, was named a Mercury Prize Album of the Year in 2014, alongside offerings from the likes of Damon Albarn.

One of the rising stars of the UK jazz scene, this Mancunian piano trio is equally at home playing to clubbers and dyed-in-the-wool jazz fans, drawing on a range of influences from Aphex Twin and dubstep to The Bad Plus, Brian Eno, John Cage, Massive Attack and Debussy.
